Getting extra income like the CPP can change how much income support you should get.
This means that you need to tell us about your income from your CPP, as soon as you know your prac dates. This is so we can pay you the right amount.
We’ll adjust your support payment if needed so you don’t get a debt you have to pay back.
To tell us, go to myGov and access your Centrelink account.
You should also include your CPP in your tax return.
